'BradCast' 4/5/2022 (Guest: Jeanne Devon of Alaska's MudFlats on Sarah Palin's Congressional bid)
b"On today's 'BradCast':\\xa0 More grim news out of Ukraine, as independent human rights organizations report and document evidence of horrific war crimes committed by Russian troops against Ukrainian civilians. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed the U.N. Security Council, calling to remove Russia's veto as a permanent member of the Council, or else dissolve itself entirely. He has a point. Three Republican senators will vote to confirm Pres. Biden's historic nominee, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, to the US Supreme Court. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said the quiet part out loud, declaring that if Republicans win back the Senate majority in the November midterms, they will block all of Biden's judicial nominees. Rep. Fred Upton (R-MI), one of the last House Republicans who voted to impeach Donald Trump, announced he will not seek re-election. Former vice presidential candidate and half-term governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin, announced she is running for the state's sole House seat after the death of Rep. Don Young (R-AK). One of the nation's foremost Palinologists, JEANNE DEVON, also known as AK Muckraker of the award-winning The Mudflats blog, offers insights and perspective on the history of Alaska politics and the legacy of Rep. Young; Palin's reputation in the state and her chances of winning in a crowded field that includes real-life candidate Santa Claus; and new information on the state's quirky, newly overhauled election system that is likely to cause complications.
